By Derek Bonnett. The month of June closed with numerous shifts and changes among the SecondsOut rankings. China’s only world champion made his first title defense. A popular lightweight contender suffered a minor upset. A middleweight titlist took one large step toward becoming middleweight champion and a rising contender hit a roadblock. All this and more as boxing’s best remain On the Move.

On Tuesday, June 25, at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, Suriyan Sor Rungvisai took on Renz Llagas in a twelve round bantamweight bout.

Rungvisai raised his record to 27-5-1 (10). Renz fell to 6-5-1 (4).
